So I took the new API release for a spin today, but when I try to run the hello_ncs_cpp example I get the following errors when opening the device:

_$ make run

What OS resources should I increase and why am I getting : Function not implemented error?

Hi,

please update install script to check numpy version : "version need for tensorflow 1.7 numpy >= 1.13.3" > TF not install for this reason. Thanks

The PYTHONPATH environment variable was added to your .bashrc as described in the Caffe documentation.

New bash processes including new terminals will use the updated value of PYTHONPATH.

To use the NCSDK in this shell, set PYTHONPATH now:

export PYTHONPATH="${PYTHONPATH}:/opt/movidius/caffe/python"

USE_VIRTUALENV=yes - used virtualenv in /opt/movidius/virtualenv-python

You must activate this virtualenv to use the NCSDK with python Activate this virtualenv by entering this command now: source /opt/movidius/virtualenv-python/bin/activate

pi@raspberrypi:~/workspace/ncsdk $ source /opt/movidius/virtualenv-python/bin/activate

I had to do under virtualenv to let nighly build TF 1.7 install

(virtualenv-python) pi@raspberrypi:~/workspace/ncsdk $ pip3 install --user numpy==1.13.3

I upgraded my Virtualbox to the latest available version: 5.2.16 r123759 (including extension pack) and gave API V2 another shot.

After I've re-installed the ncsdk2 (API V2) from scratch, I could finally run the C++ example, but even though it does seem to succeed in communicating with the NCS it still throws up a weird error:

# ~/ncsdk/examples/apps/hello_ncs_cpp/cpp/hello_ncs_cpp Hello NCS! Device opened normally. E: [ 0] dispatcherEventReceive:200 dispatcherEventReceive() Read failed -1 Goodbye NCS! Device Closed normally. NCS device working.

I also ran the SqueezeNet example and it ran fine, however I still got the the error mentioned earlier:

# make run making prereqs (cd ../../data/ilsvrc12; make) make[1]: Entering directory '/root/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/ncsdk/examples/data/ilsvrc12' LICENSE file already exists making prototxt Prototxt file already exists making caffemodel caffemodel file already exists making compile mvNCCompile -w squeezenet_v1.0.caffemodel -s 12 deploy.prototxt mvNCCompile v02.00, Copyright @ Intel Corporation 2017 /usr/local/bin/ncsdk/Controllers/FileIO.py:65: UserWarning: You are using a large type.

I had a look at the origins of the alleged Error in the SDK source code and I can pin it to XLinkError_t XLinkInitialize(XLinkGlobalHandler_t* handler) function. What's weird is, the dispatcher seems to be reporting an error communicating with the stick, yet the API calls succeed nevertheless? This is truly kind of puzzling to me.

In search of some answers I tailed the syslog wondering what's going on:

I'm not a Linux udevd expert or anything but it seems to me like like the SDK removes the device and re-adds it? Or at least so seems the syslog to suggest.

@Tome_at_Intel you might find some of this helpful to take this further - you mentioned about a month ago you were aware of the issues with API V2, but I haven't seen any bug fixes anywhere so I figured this might be helpful info.

[idata]

@milosgajdos Try switching your Virtualbox USB ports to ohci mode. This change has worked for me.

[idata]

@kixorz I have tried all three options available. See the results below from all but xhci modes fail to detect the USB stick when using API V2:

OHCI:

W: [ 0] ncDeviceOpen:533 failed to find deviceError- ncDeviceOpen failed ncStatus value: -2

EHCI:

W: [ 0] ncDeviceOpen:533 failed to find deviceError- ncDeviceOpen failed ncStatus value: -2

When XHCI mode is enabled I can at least use the stick with API v2, ignoring the error mentioned in my pervious comment.

Now, I use the latest Mac which only has USB-C ports available so I an adaptor dongle converter from USB -> USB-C. I wonder if that hast to do with the shambles we are seeing all over the place? Maybe something @Tome_at_Intel and the team can look into?

[idata]

this git link replies with error 404

[idata]

@milosgajdos , are you running inside a Virtual Machine hosted on a MAC?

Hi,

@AshwinVijayakumar I am issuing the exact same problem on ubuntu (no venv) but I packaged the python code in pyInstaller and am trying to run it.The code is rnning properly but as soon as it is packaged, this error raises, the device is foundbut can't be open with status = f.ncDeviceOpen(self.handle) == -2In the best scenario, I'd like to give this code (binary) to a client (this is a PoC) and to be able to run it from a Virtual machine (My client has Windows but no native Ubuntu)Any suggestion ? Does any way to use movidius in production mode (i.e. from binary files) is implemented or to be implemented ?

Regards

Magaly

The virtual machine is working in the technical part for SDK version where the ubuntu is running error so the device is not working that is going to provide the issue which is netgear tech support will help you to make your work done by providing the process then SDK version 2-05 will be able to release.

Hello everyone!

I am currently using sdk v2, and running examples failed. I am using ubuntu 16.04 on Intel Joule.

I was getting the same error earlier, and suddenly it worked once, and started failing again.

I have installed everything based on the scripts given in the sdk. I have also tried installing openCV independently, but the same error persists.

The device automatically disconnects after the blob gets generated.

ID 03E7:2150 is your movidius. Usb work.

But Device 019?? it's seems strange.Your are not device 6 on bus 001. See on usb driver config. or reinstall os ubuntu 16.04.

Sorry but i work only with c++ compilator.

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <mvnc.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { struct ncDeviceHandle_t *deviceHandle; int loglevel = 2; ncStatus_t retCode = ncGlobalSetOption(NC_RW_LOG_LEVEL, &loglevel, sizeof(loglevel)); // Initialize device handle retCode = ncDeviceCreate(0,&deviceHandle); if(retCode != NC_OK) { printf("Error - No NCS devices found.\n"); printf(" ncStatus value: %d\n", retCode); exit(-1); } // Open device retCode = ncDeviceOpen(deviceHandle); if(retCode != NC_OK) { printf("Error- ncDeviceOpen failed\n"); printf(" ncStatus value: %d\n", retCode); exit(-1); } // deviceHandle is ready to use now. // Pass it to other NC API calls as needed and close it when finished. printf("Hello NCS! Device opened normally.\n"); retCode = ncDeviceClose(deviceHandle); deviceHandle = NULL; if (retCode != NC_OK) { printf("Error - Could not close NCS device.\n"); printf(" ncStatus value: %d\n", retCode); exit(-1); } printf("Goodbye NCS! Device Closed normally.\n"); printf("NCS device working.\n"); } Compile with : g++ run.cpp -o run -lmvnc (run.cpp is this file, output is run and library is lmvnc)after compile, ./run

If dont work, reinstall ncsdk -2.05.00.02

Good luck.

I get this when running on my Mac. I have run successfully in the past but something has changed that I am not aware of.

I have installed.. ncsdk-2.08.01.02

I tried install ncsdk2 on my mac and my ubuntu notebook.

But when I run hello_ncs_cpp or hello_ncs_py, it failed with error.How can I resolve this problem?( neural stick1 has not problem on same machines.)
